RobG 1,892 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Do you know what time it is? It's geek time! He, he. rgbClkBP-3.pdf First, test pattern.

[sorry, but I cannot show you how it works, forgot that my design has changed and ordered/soldered wrong LEDs, I must be getting old ] photo 2.JPG Not bad! simplistic design.

GeekDoc 226 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Are those RGB LEDs? I think I need one of these really badly all-of-a-sudden. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roadrunner84 466 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Since it's not a binary display, it's not geeky enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Since it's not a binary display, it's not geeky enough :-P With RGB LEDs you could make it an octal display. Would that be geeky enough for you? ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're offering up free shipping to the USA through the end of today. Ends 11:59pm EST. Would love to know what you think of the design! It's our first of hopefully many kits Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hand-soldered with my old, not-the-greatest Weller (trying to convince myself to get a new iron/hot air station; maybe even a microscope). Now, all I need is the code. Pretty please?
